The Cotton Seed Oil Trust Compelled to
Pay FAIR Prices.
Special TO the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Jan. 27-The
planters OF the lower Mississippi have
Won victory over the American Cotton
Seed OIL Trust, having compelled 1t yes
terday to advance the price paid for cot
lon seed to 50 per ton on the river tank
and corresponding figures on tributary
streams, big advance over rates pre-
viously prevailing. When it was found
at the beginning of the present season
that the Trust Company had seemed to
control nearly ell the mills in this section
so as to completely monopolize the mar
ket, the planters recognized that they
were at its mercy. Several plans were
proposed to secure independence, that
the planters should construct cooperative
mills, and that they should form an iron
clad organization, the members of which
would pledge themselves not to sell cot
ton seed to mills of the Trust Company.
All these plans, however, failed for lack
of cooperation, but, the suggestion to
planters that 1t would pay them better to

BLAINE'S AMBITION.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The Tri-
bune says, one of Mr.. BlaiDe's
nephews, F. L. Stanwood of Boston,
is at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
Talking about his uncle, he said among
other things: 'It runs contrary to public
opinion that Mr.. Blaine is not filed with
ambition OF being President, but if all
could hear him talk and as | have at
times they would know his real condition
of mind. was with him last summer
for considerable time and | recollect his
talking over the presidency. He said
10 me that Jerry Blacks description OF
the presidential race struck him as the
most forcibe Illustration of its character.
Mr.. Black likened it TO fox hunt. 1t Is
great thing to 60 csreening over the
country, leaping fences and bitches and
going pell nell across fields at headlong
pace, with -he hounds IN full cry and the
fox ahead of them. Il is enough to stir a
mans blood to fever heat, but after
all, when Hthe thing is finished it
is only fox. Mr.. Blaine SAID
to. me distinctly that in his own prefer
ence he would much rather see friend
placed in the presidential chair and 60
back to the State Department, where he
considers that he left great and uncom-
pleted work, than to be- President him

A THANKSGIVING SERMON.

OF all the days that have been set apart
rs sacred to the people Of this country, two
stand forth in holy radiance as the out
come of the purest sentiments. The one
is Decoration day, and the other Thanks
giving. The one was born in loving mem
DRY OF the dead, and the other in gratitude
to the bountiful Giver of all we enjoy.
The flowers we lay upon the graves Of our
soldiers and lost ones are not sweeter than
the thanks we offer today. Some, indeed,
may not give articulate sound to their
thanks, but it is safe to say that in all
this broad land there is not one person
whose heart, whether it is weighed down
by sorrow or light with joy, does not send
at least one grateful thought toward the
source of all good, though perhaps they
are hardly conscious of 1t.
Gratitude for favors given is pure and
ennobling sentiment, and meet is it that
this youngest and most sgnally blessed
country should set apart one day wherein
the whole nation, rs one soul, should bow
in silent thanks for all the bounties and
blessings we enjoy. We receive the feast
in the spirit of reminder that these
blessings are but part Of the abundant
store; and with the feasting the thanks
giving rises like incense. Let there be no
empty tables in all the land, that not one
single heart fail TO offer its need; and let
us all Praise the Lord for his good
works, for his mercy endureth forever"

An Old Fashioned Dinner.

The following is the list of the dishes at
Thanksgiving dinner on Pennsylvania
farm. Everything with the exception Of
the pudding was placed upon the table at
once, to obviate the necessity of rising, as
the dear old hostess was none too strong
aud kept no servants, and yet cooked it
vi herself At the head of the table was
/ large chicken pie, in the middle two
roast chickens, and at the foot was an
enormous turkey, and opposite the chick
ems roasted pig. There were fourteen
pies of different kinds, three large cakes,
crullers, preserves. pickles of four kinds,
boiled onions, mashed potatoes, and tur-
nips, apples, cheese nuts, istard, head
cheese, biscuit, brown and white bread,
and lastly big plum pudding, and coffee.
All this for thirteen persons. This dinner
was twelve years ago, and all the diners
still live

The first Thanksgiving day recorded
was observed in Leyden, Holland, Oct. Q,
1875, because Of deliverance from siege.
Such observances were not unusual in
Europe. The first New England
Thanksgiving was held by order Of
Governor Bradford, at Plymouth, in
1921, ''that they might after a
more special manner rejoice together. {"
There were thanksgiving days in New
England from 1881, nearly every year, for
special purposes, and in the New Neither
lands from 1914. During the revolution
the observance vas general, but after that
was confined mostly to New England, till
Just before the civil war. During the war
it was nationally observed and is now .
general custom IN nearly all the states. !.

not been very careful driver the

Pride and Humility.

Once upon time two turkeys went to
roost on n tree.
az am the finest bird that flies," re-
marked one complacently, ''and nothing
is too good for me-" so he picked out n
nice, soft, springy limb almost at the top
Of the tree and went contentedly to sleep.
The other one had been brought up to
consider modesty great virtue, and
humbly remarked: 81 am content 10 sleep
near our dear Mother Earth. Pride goeth
before fall, and who knows but that
storm may come and blow my ambitious
companion to the ground, thus breaking
his vain necks"
So he took seat on the lower limb.
A storm did not come, but the owner of
the turkeys did, and the one on the lower
limb was caught, and on Thanksgiving
day was eaten.
Moral-Danger comes as often from
below ms above.
